Hi everyone,
i?m trying to graphically display distributions with r and i?m working with
makrodata from the WVS.
the command i?m using is
> plot (Makrodata$v11, Makrodata$v12, xlab="Democracy Score
Economist",
> ylab= share religious people")
i?m having an additional variable that identifies respectively labels the
cases with its country name.
how can i implement that variable, so it identifies the various cases in the
scatterplot and looks like the spss screenshot i posted below?
<http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/file/n4650650/Unbenannt.gif>
thanks in advance!

Johannes, This will get you started tmp <- data.frame(x=rnorm(10), y=rnorm(10, 1000, 100), txt=letters[1:10]) plot(y ~ x, data=tmp) text(x=tmp$x+.05, y=tmp$y-20, labels=tmp$txt) rect(tmp$x-.05, tmp$y-25, tmp$x+.1, tmp$y-10) Rich You will probably need to use the xlim and ylim arguments on the plot function call. You will need to experiment with the constant adjustments on the text and rect calls. You might need vector adjustments rather than scalars on those calls.

You could use something like this: #Generate 26 simulated data points y=rnorm(26) x=1:26 your.labels=letters #Plot data plot(x, y, xlim=c(min(x), max(x)+.25), ylim=c(min(y), max(y)+.25)) #Label points text(x+.15, y+.15, your.labels) You could also use the textxy function in the calibrate package as show here: http://www.r-bloggers.com/r-tutorial-series-labeling-data-points-on-a-plot/. ________________________________ From: john55 <johannesm67@gmail.com> To: r-help@r-project.org Sent: Saturday, November 24, 2012 11:04 AM Subject: [R] How to Label Cases in Scatterplots?
